Answer 3

From your description, it sounds like he's scared. Has he ever had a bad experience with a visitor that might make him skittish around new people? Maybe he associates visitors with a disruption in his routine or with increased noise and activity in the house, which could make him anxious. Jealousy is an awfully complex emotion for a cat...it's more likely that he just perceives the visitors as some kind of threat - whether it's a threat to his safety, his routine, or just a threat to getting attention from you.

Answer 4

cats r mean

Answer 5

You're his Mum / Dad, you were there probably when he first got there, you played with him, you gave him affection and you probably fed him, you are his everything and will always be (sound the love song music)  These other distractions are just a pain for him, as he obviously likes it to be just you two.  

People are pretty imposing, large, looming, probably not cat people which he can sense.  He's probably just very very sensitive and shy.  I am sure if they spent more time with him he would warm up to them but its probably a bit like you going to a gathering, you aren't particularly going to like everyone there or want to spend an evening being affectionate with them.

Its just his character, and he will probably never change, some cats just more outgoing, but perhaps you can take some satisfaction that he just loves you the best.
